Forza Motorsport 4 gameplay preview (leaked)

vg0H3.jpg


Oh hai Grindelwald valley!
A track near the Eiger, huh?
 
Maybe a potential Warthog/Mongoose could be easter eggs in the game? Who knows, Microsoft owns Halo now, why wouldn't they?
 
Was just reading the new Car and Driver issue and they had a road test of 2 cars in stretch of road in Tennessee called Tail of the Dragon.

11.x miles(similar to Fujimi Kaido), 1000ft+ of elevation change, looks awesome.

put it in T10.

Oh right, he works at Turn10, right? The guy who presented Forza Kinect at E3?


Yep. He's the senior designer.

God, now the wait for E3 and the game's release is going to be brutal.

Also notice the flames coming out of the 458's exhaust, and the active aero for a number of cars. This game is going to be sick.

I really hope, for Forza 4, that Turn 10 takes the time to fix/implement engine output notes for upgrades purchased. The lack of that in Forza 3 really bugged me.

looks like a video in 360p...

But am really excited about the features and the Top Gear stuff...!

Hope they do some great partnering

Seriously. The only game I have right now that lets me recreate some of the craziness in Top Gear is GTA4 of all things (although its missing any circuits. boo). The more Top Gear the merrier imo.

Please don't be fake ! Please don't be fake !

The list of things added sounds almost too good to be true and almost a fanboy dream :

-16 cars
-clubs
-completely revamped career mode
-5 new tracks including TGTT and Hockenheimring
-active aero
-exhaust flames
-much better colors/lighting
-Car porn showroom
-Kinect controls

As someone said, the lack of weather and dynamic time of day is the only disappointing thing, although this feature could be showed later.

The 80+ manufacturers is consistent with the details leaked by Kotaku.

I'm like 99% certain I remember hearing Turn 10 say weather will be in the game...not sure about dynamic time of day.

the stuff in that trailer looked great. too bad it couldn't be in higher quality to really show off the graphics.

Looks so damn good. SO GOOD. I wonder if MS is going to release a new racing wheel along side the game. I guess it's probably just as fun to use my imaginary steering wheel though.
But for reals, the head tracking paired with a nice wheel. Damn.
 
Good to see Turn 10 implementing things other games already have like exhaust backfire and moveable wings. Being able to closely study the cars will be nice too (if you can do what the video shows being done). I don't see the point in using Kinect when you can do everything with the controller simpler and with less arm ache. But the game is looking good.

It was never confirmed officially. The closest we got to a confirmation was this :

if this was an actual unauthorized leak somehow, and this was not supposed to get out, how pissed is Turn 10? they spend a ton of time and money on media rollouts and shit like this and this trailer basically lays everything on the table.

I really like the approach Turn 10 are taking with FM4. Their sense of direction is so good compared to Polyphony Digital. Trailer was fucking amazing - everything was clear cut in terms of features and what to expect.

Would love to buy it but my DFGT doesn't work with my 360 :\

If they don't make it in the game, it is a little disappointing, but they could always get it in Forza 5 in 2013. They would probably still be able to get it out before GT6, maintaining the status quo.

With Shift 2 (basically their main competitor after GT5) having just been released, it's possibly not a bad thing to entice others to hold off (if they only buy one racing game a year).
 
If it's really an internal video why would they hide the weather feature? Makes no sense. The video could be an intentioal leak or there won't be any weather.

April 1st. Perfect to hype shit up.

As long as people like it my guess is, not pissed at all. Except for the PR guys.

weather really isnt a thing for me. maybe some rain...but snow or anything crazy doesn't make sense...no track would hold the event with 4 inches of snow on the track. no one is racing a car in that.

Didnt mention top gear either but if you go to the site its everywhere. My guess it might be a feature that gets cut to make the deadline, like active areo and shift animations (later patched in) were in FM3.

Because, it may be a WIP trailer. They could decide to show wether at a later time to build hype. It may not be the best example of communication but we learned officially that weather would be in GT5 really late in the hype for example.
 
Holy moly.

Very, very impressed even from this 240p vid.

There's almost anything you could want from Forza.

Expect weather and warthogs.
 
Seriously though, even though the gameplay looks FM3ish, the car details regardless are nuts. 16 cars, though there is no confirmed weather or anything yet, I think the competition *cough* is going to have a hard time to keeping up. This is coming from someone who was very disappointed in FM3. I know Turn 10 wont half ass the Top Gear Track, I know they add more cars more quickly. Yes, the very large amount of people that are contracted with Turn 10 creates a lack of consistency in some spots, but they amount of content and features that come up in the short amount of time is great.
